- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our bath repair in Bellshill
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bellshill and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price

Bellshill questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Bellshill?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bellshill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Bellshill and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
